I love compliments in general. Even strangers calling out to me at the mall that they like my hair (currently bright peacock-blue). The only compliment i have trouble with is when people say i am strong because i feel i am not and they are misinterpreting me and will not behave appropriately, for example, will not be cautious about my feelings, which dynamic has happened even after i've TOLD the person that i am NOT strong, i am fragile.

Just because i have lived thru some heavy $h!t does not mean that i am strong. It merely means i endure, not that i flourish or that i can help them with their problems or have drawn any wise and pithy conclusions from overcoming my own suffering, to a degree.

I do what i can, but sometimes it is not much and if i feel the person is so unstable that they are dangerous to be around, i can't be with them for my own protection.

This leads to loneliness, however, just another thing to endure.
